resolved.eu Countries: Countries and European Court

resolved.eu countries: They could be taken to Europe's top court, the European Court of Justice, if the matter is not resolved.EU countries agreed in September 2015 to relocate 160,000 refugees from Greece and Italy as the two countries struggled to cope with more than a million migrants who entered Europe mostly through their borders that year, according to Metro News. The Commission said in a statement that despite repeated calls for action, these three countries remain in breach of their legal obligations and have shown disregard for their commitments to Greece, Italy and other member states. The Commission, which polices EU agreements, sent formal letters of notice to the three states giving them one month to respond to its concerns. The two-year relocation scheme is a major plank of the EU's migration policy, and was lauded as a European show of solidarity in 2015. The plan was endorsed by a qualified majority vote roughly a two-thirds majority with the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia voting against. But just three months before it expires this September, fewer than 21,000 people have been relocated. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
